Most Sixes In Cricket World Cup 2023: The World Cup 2023 is close to its conclusion, with hosts India taking on Pat Cummins’ Australia in the grand finale on Sunday in Ahmedabad at the enormous Narendra Modi Stadium.
The tournament, as had been expected before its start, has been a high-scoring one, with batters making the most of the batting-friendly conditions in the majority of the venues. Only Lucknow and Kolkata proved to be major challenges for the batters. Otherwise, the ones yielding the willow have had some great fun scoring and hitting sixes.
Talking about hitting sixes, the World Cup 2023 has seen the most number of sixes in a World Cup: 636 sixes before the final, which is already miles ahead of the 463 sixes in the 2015 World Cup.
